We traveled for my writing!

Just a quick update.  Cade and I traveled for the second time for my writing.  We played music and I signed books on the side.  This was such a blast, playing at four different places and signing at three!  

    Here are some pictures:

We're the sixth down, performing for the Balance Rock Eatery & Pub.

Doing a sound check before the art festival started.


Getting ready for a gig the next day.

Us playing at the New Life Ministries booth.  These people are AMAZING and have been so supportive of my writing.
Also, my mom is in the pink, playing the congas.  

Another one.


Since N. L. M. supports the arts, they had wonderful dances, music and acting throughout the service--our kids absolutely loved it.
Plus, this church used to be a theater and it has THE BEST acoustics. 
Here's a picture from a sound check at New Life Ministries.  My mom played the drums with us here, too.  If you haven't heard her play, you have to check out This Link.

The last place we played at was a family reunion for my mom's side.  My family is so awesome!
We had the best time this past weekend.  Thanks to everyone who came out to hear us play and have books signed. 

This is a short video from a sound check before the arts festival.

  1. Dear Elisa, thanks so much for sharing these photographs of your recent singing, playing, and signing. I only wish that one of these was a video and we could have heard you and Cade--and your mom--making music together. Well, maybe another time! Peace.

  9. How fun Elisa. Glad to see you all are having fun--and allowing us to enjoy your writing and music talents.

    Also, nice to see u playing at a covered venue as it looks like some raindrops fell at the festival in the video.

  11. You play that violin beautifully. I tried playing one but couldn't get the hang of it. There were no frets and the strings cut into my finger ends. That last bit makes me sound really soft.

  12. More! More! The clip was too short. Your mom is a very good drummer as well. How cool to be able to play music and sign books on the same gigs.

  13. You're so lucky to be close to your family. My parents are gone and my brothers and I rarely speak. You and Cade always look like you have so much fun when you play together.
